Tyranny describes a long-standing relationship between House Halovar and her demonic family, led or created by Ksha’aravi, the High Prince of Demonkind and Shadow of Suffering.

Rulius and Calastro Mercanaud paralyse Teor and begin cutting apart his shadow before Tyranny deceives them into cancelling the Halovar assignment.
